Even though the police station at 251 E. Sixth St. is a few blocks from Broadway, cops suspect the same person was at work slashing tires not far from the Occupy encampment at City Hall.

Slash attack for this plain clothes Crown Vic.

LAPD

Lt. Paul Vernon:

It's too much of a coincidence that all the police cars parked in front of the station had flat tires too, so we suspect it's part of the same spree. Given that, I would expect that we might get some reports of flattened tires near Main Street too.

Police think other victims of this slasher might be out there. Call the LAPD if your tires were hit of if you think you know who the suspect is: 213-972-1242.

[Added]: Vernon told the Weekly late today that 10 cars total, including six cop cars, were hit.

He said City Hall occupiers usually don't venture that far south, either:

It's a stretch to try to attribute this to people at Occupy. They're seven blocks north and stay in their encampment. They don't come down here. But anything's possible.
